Looks nothing like what I’d imagine your nomeclature to fit.

Pfft, I can sell you one cheaper than that.

Lesson 1: Never say ‘i don’t know, sir’. Either say ‘i’ll find out right away, sir’, or, if truly desperate, make up some bullshit on the spot. You will undoubtedly be immediately corrected (and thus learn), and may earn some points for imagination/amusement.
Looks as it must fit onto to something maybe
Something grabs the linkage and three angles of a bed or chair maybe.
Though it looks like piston that’s linked to an needle
Though it could be something to measure transition’s Haiku about Larry.

I have no more idea than anyone else here.
Yes, definitely a mounting bracket.
Yes, definitely a piston on a needle.
But why the need for three (or four) angle gauges? The whole outside is monolithic, doesn’t flex, so only the interior is affected by the settings.
My first thought is that it a precise dispenser of goo. The tube of goo being inserted base-first into the cylinder at top left. But that would only requite one dial or at most two.
My second thought is that it’s a device for measuring the exact dimensions of some roughly cylindrical object, such as a machinery component. But if so then you’d tend to use linear measurements rather than angular.
It’s not a telescope or barometer mounting, I know enough about those to rule them out.
Nup, no clue.

That was my response, but I didn’t type it in.

I think it is a frame for an old school (pre-GPS) surveying instrument, like a theodolite or similar.

I considered that but they usually include a wheel-like structure.
Like everyone else, I’m not sure but I think it might be some kind of calibration or alignment device. Possible for an aircraft or some other machine that needs several parts aligned in a specific way.

That suits the technical aspects of it.
It’s an old fashioned crystallography aid for measuring refraction angles

something to measure breaking strength or tension thresh hold perhaps?
fsm said:
This device appears to contain two pistons that point in opposite directions. The upper piston shows an input that may be pneumatic. Each piston pin connects to a cam lever that appears to rotate a bracket. Each bracket has an indicator arm that shows a position on a gauge that is marked from -100% to +100%. The third gauge seems to be connected to a long spring and lever assembly to two large semi-circular cams. This gauge reads from 0 to 2.0. My guess is that this device is some kind of pneumatic proportional tension control perhaps used in the yarn/weaving or photographic industries.
